TAMIL EELAM TRANSNATIONAL GOVERNMENT: APPEAL TO NATIONS TO SUPPORT

[20th May 2009 in http://uk.360.yahoo.com/dravidaperavai ]

Political scientists term the globalization as one that leads to death of the nation. Some others predict that in future city states will be the order of the day. Tamils are now focusing their minds on how best they can define their transnational status. Indian citizens who live in other countries are bestowed with dual nationality status. Similar to that, Tamils should also be citizens of a Transnational State of Tamil Eelam and citizens of whichever country they live or opted to live. It is high time world recognizes a state without borders to preserve the language, culture and liberty of people uprooted from their traditional homeland. It will be a far fetched scheme or day dream to others who hear the Tamils demand for first time.

To fit the long term goal of Tamils to get back their lost homeland of Tamil Eelam with the support of the nations on earth or to remain forever in the lands of their current domicile, thought could be given to give concrete shape to create a Transnational State for Eelam Tamils. It will be like a state in space or like a virtual state in cyberspace, in no way infringing the governance of existing nations on earth.

Tamils dreamland is a homeland on Earth. Jews had their dream till they attained Israel, but that dream is born out of never healing wounds that continue to bleed over the annals of  two nations crossing swords without cessation of hostilities. Tamils being the peace loving citizens, who were driven by historical accidents to wield weapons to protect their soil and its people from ongoing genocide that had past half a century, are now at historical cross roads. Their protests had awakened the nations to their plight. Sympathetic voices and moral support from all men of conscience is offering them solace in this grave hour, when their kinsmen in the battlefields of Tamil Eelam have laid their lives for a just cause.

Hence Dravida Peravai appeals to the leaders of USA, UK, and France and of the European Union and to Norway which is sympathetic to Tamils to permit Tamil Diaspora to launch a Tamil Eelam Government in Exile. These Tamils must decide to opt for peaceful and democratic way of getting their homeland through diplomacy.

The Government of Tibet in Exile is in Tibet House 1, Calworth Street, London NW8 TAF Telephone: 0044-20-7722-5378. Tamil Diaspora in UK must get in touch with the Government of Tibet in Exile and must learn from them on how to run a Government of Tamil Eelam in Exile. The support democratic Britain gives for Tibetan Government will be also showered on the Government of Tamil Eelam in Exile. The armed struggle has ended. Tamils must rise above affinity towards the Marxian or Maoist underground movements of yester years of history, and look for fresh initiatives. One such could be emulating the example of the Tibetan Government in Exile headed by His Holiness Dalai Lama. Tamils must also know that the seat of the Tibetan Government in Exile is Dharmsala in North India. India patronizes Tibetan Government of Exile; why not it starts patronizing the Tamil Eelam Government in Exile. All the refugees placed in various refugee camps can become citizens of The Tamil Eelam Government in Exile, and all moneys towards refugees could be spent through the Tamil Eelam Government in Exile. Though for India to assimilate this idea will take a decade, Eelam Tamils can have their seat of Government in  London or whichever nations grants them permission to set the government in exile in its soil.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown had expressed solidarity with Noble Laureate Aung San Sui Kyi, and western democracies are fully aware of the National coalition Government of Burma with Dr.Sein Win as Prime Minister. The elected Members of Parliament of Burma before people’s verdict was thrown to winds and democracy butchered in last decade, are the founding fathers of the Government in Exile. The Tamil Members of Parliament who hope to get better deal under the bullet fire of Srilankan President can exhaust their energies to get what has been denied to Tamils since independence. Once they get disillusioned they can be the nucleus of The Government in Exile of Tamil Eelam.

India who proclaims to be a friend of Tamils though ditching Tamils in dire need, must allow Tamils of Eelam to form their Government in Exile within Indian Territory. The Indian War of Independence saw the birth of the Provisional Government in Exile on 21st October 1943 headed by Nethaji Subash Chandra Bose. It took its inception in Singapore, and recalling the past precedent, India can permit the creation of Tamil Eelam Government in Exile. Of course India can choose who should head that Government, like Lord Mountbatten chose and propped up Jawaharlal Nehru from behind. This is not to belittle Nehru’s stature in the independence movement, but to remind preferences of powers too matter in propping up leaders of the Tamil Eelam Government in Exile.

Wikipedia states that Republic of Cabinda created in 1975 remains a Portuguese protectorate. The Government in Exile of the Republic of Cabinda is based on France; further that Government remains a protectorate of Portugal. Similarly India can be the protectorate for the Tamil Eelam Government in Exile, or France can be the patron. The issue is left in the hands of Tamil Diaspora to collectively decide. The exercise should also lay the foundation for a transnational state, the idea of which had to be lobbied and concrete shape to be given in future.

Lao’s People Democratic Republic since 1975 was based in Paris. Republic of Maluku Seltan claiming nation in Indonesia was based in Netherlands since 1950. The fact is west is aware of the concept of a Government in Exile, and Eelam Tamils must canalize all their thoughts to form such a government aiming to regain the lost homeland but in mean time cementing the bonds of comradeship that blossomed in the streets of the world where Tamils rubbed shoulders for a common cause to stop the Genocide of Tamils.

WHAT WE MOOTED NOW GAINS ACCEPTANCE IN TAMIL NET…. Read...

Setting the hands of the clock right

[Tamil Net, Monday, 01 June 2009, 20:04 GMT]

The Eezham Tamils and their political representatives have no obligation to anyone now, to engage in the deliberations of fruitless alternatives. But the world has an obligation now to tell the Tamils whether its opposition is to what it has perceived as 'terrorism' or to Tamil nationalism. The Eezham Tamil mainstream has a historic responsibility on its shoulders to be performed right now. If the oppression to their nationalism is trans-national, the Eezham Tamils have to respond by forming a trans-national government fully responsible to them based on democracy, to negotiate with the world and to look after their own affairs.

Tamil Net Editorial Board

The foremost is the task of re-structuring the political struggle. All the anger, frustration and unfulfilled aspirations have to be now translated into positive energy of formulating a political idiom suitable enough for a global discourse to achieve liberation. Among the very few classical as well as living cultures of humanity, such as the Chinese, Hebrews and Arabs, the Tamils, especially the Eezham Tamils, have become an endangered identity. The world neither protected them nor allowed them to protect themselves. The response of Eezham Tamils to such a situation should suit their great cultural heritage. If the present world system is working against them in total and if the world doesn't have enough appetite to look into their righteous aspirations, then the Tamils matching to their civilization should come out with introducing something innovative and creative to the world system itself. If the oppression to their nationalism is trans-national, the Eezham Tamils have to respond by forming a trans-national government fully responsible to them based on democracy, to negotiate with the world and to look after their own affairs.

Needless to say, the appropriate beginning is re-mandating the fundamentals of Vaddukkoaddai Resolution, and based on that democratically endorsed commitment, electing representatives for a trans-national assembly and government. Eezham Tamils in Norway have already set a model for conducting democratic elections in Diaspora context. A publication on the procedures experimented in Norway are awaited soon. The Tamil request to the civilized world at this juncture is to support their democratic experiment and to listen to their democratic voices.

Pongal is an Universal Festival, how you may wonder. Please read the article in the link given below: http://www.dravidaperavai.org.in/topic_viewer.php?art=1&xfile=1

Dravida Peravai lauds the declaration of Tamil nadu Government led by Dr.Kalaignar M.Karunanithi to celebrate the Tamil New Years Day on first day of Thamizh month Thai.The so called Tamil New Years Day on Chithirai 1st day is not for Tamils. The mere names of these 60 years in that calender is not Tamil, even worse is the myth behind these 60 names. Please read my poem Pagutharivu Paavai, to know about that myth : Read link below ; http://www.dravidaperavai.org.in/topic_viewer.php?art=4&xfile=2

The Indian Government misguided by few bureaucrats is not supporting the Tamilnadu's unanimous appeal to save Tamils from genocide. All blame but none tells the reason. The Aryan tag attached to Sinhalese is the real reason. The struggle of 3000 years is not yet over, Tamils must understand.

DRAVIDIAN MOVEMENTS UNENDING CRUSADE
The Aryan Dravidian Divide
The struggle between Sanskrit and Tamil which started during the times of Tamil grammarian Tholkappiyar [865 B.C] triggered a grammatical rule to eschew Sanskrit letters. This rule enunciated by Tholkappiyar is the starting point of Dravidian movement says Dr. S.Rajendiran in his Doctorate thesis " Tamizh Kavithaiyil Dravida Iyakathin Takkam". Even during the Sangam age we can find the Aryan influence and infiltration into literary texts corrupting the original version. It is known as Idaiserugal. But only in the Pallava period Aryan influence got entrenched deeply. Separate housing colonies for Aryans thereby legitimizing the caste system led to the upward mobility in social ladder of the Aryan peoples.

Dr.K.K.Pillai who wrote a book " The Caste System In Tamil Nadu" holds the above said view. The Pallavas imposed taxes on agriculturalists and traders but exempted the Aryans. Sekkukaranam [Tax for oil extraction] Thattarakaranam [Tax on Goldsmiths] Paraikaranam [Tax on Musicians] were professional taxes, which Brahmins need not pay. This is revealed by the reports of the Archaeological Survey of India E.I. Vol XXXVI.No.20. pp 144-163.

Kumarila Bhattar called Tamizh as mileccha bashai but the Tamil Thesauruses Nigandugal hit back by calling Aryans milechar. The opposition to Aryanism led to the birth of Saiva Sithantha, a philosophical school. Saivite mutts under Non Brahmin heads came into existence. The brahminical lobby vehemently opposed the Saivite mutts. The hymns of Appar, Sambandar, Sundarar, and Manicavasagar were eulogized as 4 Vedas. Nayanmars and Azhvars who initiated the worship of gods and goddesses through Tamil were the forerunners to the war against Sanskritisation. Thiruvaimozhi in later days is known as Dravida Vedham. So Dravidian Movement did not start in 20 th century as it is being said. The day when Aryans, their language Sanskrit was opposed in Tamil soil is the beginning of Dravidian Movement.

Thiruneelakanda Yazhpaanar could not gain entry into Sirkazhi temple and Thirugnanasambandar had to fight to get him entry, which also proves the growing influence of Aryans in temples. Nandanar after exhuming his body into flames to purify and after only he became a Brahmin then only his soul could enter Chidambaram Temple. Till date Tamil hymns are forbidden in Chidambaram temple for which Sivanadiyargal have to wage protests without securing the legitimate right. Puranas were written only to uphold Aryanism.

Even Manicavasagar had to portray him as pulayan and god as Brahmin. All this shows the well-entrenched Aryan influence. The Sitthars wrote strongly against Aryan influences. Thirumoolar's famous quotable quote One god One creed is to denounce multiciplity of deities and caste differences. Sivavaikiyar, Bhathragiriyar, Bambatti sithar and all Sithars and their movement is a continuation of the Dravidian struggle against Aryans. Adiveerama Pandians verse that whomsoever it may be only the educated will be welcomed, indicates his resolve to deny the tenets of varnashradarma i.e. injustice based and perpetuated on caste basis.After Sangam age the decline of Tamil started. Kalapirar and Pallavas gave importance to Prakritham. Vedic ideas had polluted Tamil minds by that time.

The Bhakthi Movement that rose to challenge these tendencies gave impetus to Tamil language and Tamil religion. While Nayanmars and Azhvars revolted against Brahmins in Tamilnadu the people of North India too under the dynamic leadership of Lord Buddha and Mahaveer used peoples languages like Pali, Arthamagathi and Apiramisam which are offshoots of Prakiratham to register their protest against Sanskrit and Aryans. The Saiva Sithantha and Saivite Mutts were direct challenge to the Brahmanism. Hence Brahmins were against these. These mutts educated the Tamils which could not be assimilated by the Aryans, who claimed that they only have the right to get education. In order to show their anger they instigated attack on the caves. Saivite mutts were operating from caves.

The epigraphists of Tamilnadu have found references about the revolt to demolish caves. " It is stated that in the 22 nd year of Periyathevar there was a general crusade against monasteries of this type when all the property of the monastery under reference was confiscated. Thiruchitrambala Mudaliar survived for 2 years after this event and died and Hridaya thevar i.e. Kulothunga Chozha III must have been instigated by the Brahmins against the Non-Brahminical Saiva Mutts" Looking back at history we can give many such proofs of the Aryan- Dravidian struggle which till date continues.

The Bhakthi Movement failed, Dravidian Movement felt that way in 20 th century and hence turned towards atheism. " The Saiva Sithantha says Dr.Pope is the most elaborate, influential and undoubtedly the most valuable of all the religion of India. It is peculiarly the Southern Indian and Tamil religion and must be studied by everyone who hopes to understand and influence the great South Indian peoples." Whatever is said harsh truth is all attempts by Sithar Movement and Bhakthi movement have failed to completely weed out Brahmanism and Aryan influences.

Are we popularizing Sithar padalgal ? Have we won the right for Tamil only usage in temples? Even Tamil mythology is different. " Tamils have their own mythology… And Tamil puranas unlike the Sanskrit puranas are usually the concern of the authors whose historical existence seems likely, although the imagination has been allowed to run wild in this regard " says Pierre Meile Larrousse in World Mythology. There is distinct demarcation. There are different religions.

There has been unending fight against Sanskrit and Brahmanism, but all the efforts of Sithars and Azhvars and Nayanmars have lost the purpose for which it came but legitimized Brahmanism. The word Sind got corrupted and became Hindu. If Indus civilization is Dravidian then the word that derived from the Indus River must point out only Dravidians. But the word had been hijacked by Aryans and brahmanical religion is portrayed as Hindu religion, why even religions that came out to protest Brahmanism like Sikhism , Buddhism and Jainism have been brought under Hindu fold creating the illusion of acceptance of the racial supremacy of the Aryans. Aryans had hijacked even Dravidian movement where a Brahmin lady and others diluting their ideology accommodating the Aryan supremacy head one outfit, thereby running successful business enterprises in politics. The Anti Hindi agitation is not an overnight revolution. It marks the continuing struggle for desanskritization.

Languages elsewhere have assimilated with each other but in no other language the venom that one human is superior by birth to other is being translated into reflexes subjugating and denigrating human beings, hence Tamils are fighting for centuries. Other languages of the Dravidian family have developed a false notion as if they descended directly from heaven instead of branching out of Tamil. This mental framework also is the handiwork of Aryan influences and corruptive infiltration of Sanskrit into their tongues. In Nepal the Maoists fought for closure of Sanskrit schools which shows Dravidian movement not only exists in spirit here in Tamil soil but wherever human dignity is eroded by language, religious, ethnic supremacy the challenge to it will be automatic and unending. Dravida Peravai feels it is time to evaluate our past and chalk out our future plans in the light of our failures.
